Durga Ashtottara Shatanam Stotra: what it is and what its recitation grants
Asked for one stotra, stuti or mantra path that a person short of time can use for daily Durga upasana so that every desire is fulfilled and moksha comes at the end, the speaker answers that the best, easiest and simplest vidhan is the Durga Ashtottara Shatanam Stotra — the glory of Bhagwati's 108 names, composed and described by Bhagwan Sadashiva in the Vishwasara Tantra. Sadashiv himself has said, he reports, that one who recites it obtains all four Purushartha — dharma, artha, kama, moksha — along with wealth, grain, sons, grandsons, elephants and horses; nothing in life remains unattainable, no work fails to be accomplished, and even kings come under one's control. When it is done as an anushthan, especially in Navratri, he says kumari puja must be done with it, and the mantra path afterwards brings many benefits.
Which recension of the Durga Ashtottar Shatnam should be used?
The Durga Ashtottar Shatnam Stotram which is of the Vishwasara Tantra — if you can obtain it, do its path; or the one of the Siddheshwar Tantra which is popularly current. That too will be found, and the Vishwasara Tantra one will also be found. At Gita Press Gorakhpur.
Where is the prohibition on Vedokta pronunciation written?
When people ask where it is written, the speaker answers: then read. Read the Shiv Mahapuran — in it, with regard to the Vedokta, it has been written that these mantras should not be pronounced in such and such ways. Read the Vishwasara Samhita, which he says he has mentioned many times. You do not accept it, you do it, and difficulty arises.
